SYLVANIA METALARC®

Pulse Start Metal Halide Lamps

Improved Performance on Every LevelThe advanced arc tube design of SYLVANIA METALARC® PULSE STARTmetal halide lamps makes them superior to standard metal halide probestart lamps. Initial lumen output levels are similar to standard lamps, butmean and maintained lumen levels can be up to 30 percent higher. METALARC PULSE START lamp life can be up to two times the life of standard lamps and these high performance lamps reduce color temperature shift over the life of the lamp by as much as 400K. Other performance enhancements include reaching 90 percent of full light outputsignificantly earlier than standard lamps and reducing hot restrike time by up to 60 percent.

Reduced Initial, Operating and Maintenance CostsThe superior performance of METALARC PULSE START lamps translatesdirectly to cost savings in a number of ways. Higher maintained lumensmeans that potentially up to one-third fewer fixtures can be specified toachieve overall lighting goals, reducing both initial installation and operatingcosts. The extended service life of METALARC PULSE START lamps can cut relamping schedules in half. In commonly used high bay or pole-mounted fixtures, the potential savings in maintenance costs can be considerable.

WideRange of Superior Pulse Start Lamps

Dual Wattage Pulse StartNew SYLVANIA dual wattage METALARC® PULSE START lamps deliver increased flexibility and versatility. They can be run at a lowerwattage for increased energy savings or at a higher wattage forimproved light output. The 320/350W METALARC PULSE START lamp can be operated on either a 320W or 350W pulse start ballastwithout compromising performance, and delivers pulse start technologyin a compact BT28 jacket. The new 350/400W lamp can be operatedon a 350W or 400W pulse start ballast and can deliver performancesimilar to a single wattage lamp. For many facilities, dual wattage lampsare a great way to simplify inventory requirements.

Other High Wattage OptionsWhen the flexibility of a dual wattage lamp is not significant, SYLVANIAalso offers a range of high performance, single wattage METALARCPULSE START lamps from 250W to 1000W, all of which offer the long life and improved lumen maintenance of pulse start technology.

Low Wattage Pulse Start LampsMETALARC low wattage (≤150W) pulse start lamps allow the high white light output and exceptional efficacy of metal halide lighting to be used in a great variety of applications. PAR20, PAR30LN and PAR38lamps are ideal for display and accent lighting. E17 and T6 lamps provide ample flexibility in the choice of fixtures such as downlights, pendants, wall mounts and pole mounts. For applications that demandexcellent color rendering with pulse start technology METALARCPOWERBALL™ CERAMIC lamps are the best choice.

Safe for Use in Open or Enclosed FixturesThe open fixture technology in SYLVANIA METALARC PRO-TECH®

lamps offers extra flexibility. Available in a full complement of lampwattages, these lamps were created to fill the need for a safe lightsource in applications where a protective lens on the metal halide fixture was either impractical or undesirable. METALARC PRO-TECHlamps enhance safety in open or enclosed fixtures with a shroudaround the arc tube or, in some cases, a thicker-walled bulb.

METALARC PRO-TECH® BenefitsThe ability to use open fixtures makes high output METALARC PRO-TECH lamps ideal for higher ceiling applications where enclosed fixtures might previously have been necessary. Open fixtures result in greater light output over life as well as lower maintenance costs because there are no lenses to gather dirt and dust or complicate lamp replacement procedures. In addition, METALARC PRO-TECH shroud technology reduces the lamp’s UV output compared to standard metal halide lamps.

PULSE START Technology

BEN

S

In metal halide lamps, an arc passing between two electrodes in a pressurizedtube causes various metallicadditives to vaporize andrelease large amounts ofwhite light. METALARCPULSE START lamps use anarc tube with substantiallyhigher fill pressure than standard metal halide lamps.This reduces tungsten evap-oration off the electrodes,which lessens the darkeningof the arc tube. As a result,METALARC PULSE STARTlamps provide better lumenmaintenance, longer life andimproved color stability thantraditional probe start lamps.
